Effect of alignment errors due to the missing wedge in volume averaging. (a) Starting phantom model. (b) Average of 70 volumes derived without consideration of the missing wedge results in spreading of the unique feature to all three arms due to frequent alignment errors. (c) Average of 70 volumes obtained using our procedure for alignment that accounts for the missing wedge; the feature is correctly recovered in only one of the arms.
